Influential Characters, Their Plots and Your Countermoves

BioSynth is the playing ground of many powerful characters. You’ll get to meet some of them… while it’s better than you don’t encounter others.

While you go on with your life, different factions and individuals are scheming on ways to gain more power and influence. If you end up trapped in someone’s net, you may become a prey… or worse you may become the puppet of someone you don’t even know.

Make your moves and try not to bother the wrong people.

The 5 Ranks

But before you know who those are, you have to understand what are the 5 ranks of remarkable individuals:

1. World Ruler
2. Judge
3. Calamity
4. Celebrity
5. Leader

World Rulers

They are the richest and most powerful people in the world. Although individually they are not forces of nature, they have such an influence that no one in the world dares touch or question them.

Judges

They are the highest ranking bounty hunters. They accept commissions almost only from World Rulers. They are the strongest individuals in the world, contested only by a few Calamities. For these reasons, they enjoy boundless freedom, with the only limit of not being able to harm the World Rulers.

Calamities

They are individuals with extreme power and not subject to anyone. But for obvious reasons, they avoid attracting the scorn of the World Rulers and the attention of the Judges.

Celebrities

They are characters with enormous influence and exceptional wealth. They live in privileged areas of cities that are precluded to those of lower status. They are almost always at the head of the largest factions or very successful organizations… in other cases they are key figures in the world of entertainment.

Leaders

They are those people who have an influence on different individuals. Because they are at the head of a faction, because they own organizations or because they are so strong that they are feared and respected by many.

Some Remarkable Individuals

I can’t say if you’ll encounter any of the following individuals or not. Just know that, if you happen to meet any of those, they are fearsome enemies or precious allies, so choose your actions carefully.

Leonardo The Crafter

Rank: Undisclosed.

The greatest robotics genius ever to exist on Jaia. He has created several robots of great power and high technological level, including The Renegade, The Slayer and The Alchemist. Traces of him have been lost for many years, but rumors suggest that he is still alive.

The Renegade – his original name got lost

Rank: Calamity.

A robot who decided to hunt his own species to increase his power. He targets the most notable robotic specimens in order to take over their technology. Exceptionally, he also finds himself hunting humans/cyborgs/mutants when they possess technology that piques his interest.

For The Renegade, each victim adds technology and knowledge to his repertoire. To tell it all, that is the only reason for him to combat: he avoids any fight where the stakes aren’t either new tech to acquire or his survival. It has been reported many times that he just ignored the attacks of unworthy opponents.

He is continually in motion. He was recently spotted in the desert lands of Krania – the continent where the game takes place.

Yoruni Musashi

Rank: Judge.

She’s one of the deadliest ninjas on the planet. Her 2-sword fighting style and agility are unmatched. There’s a tale where she fought alone against the entire squad of a certain calamity, couting 88 strong individuals between men and robots, without receiving a single hit – but it’s just a tale, for sure it is not true.

[NAME UNDISCLOSED]

Rank: Celebrity.

[NAME UNDISCLOSED] is an extremely popular Celebrity who lives in Paradise Bay – an exclusive area in Etheita (the city where the game takes place) where only Celebrities, Judges, World Rulers, and their servants are allowed.

[NAME UNDISCLOSED] is fascinated by rare and exceptional things… they say that in his mansion there are historical artworks, tech pieces so advanced that even renowned scientists crave and bizarre things like a living dinosaur. Apparently there’s something unique that just picked his interest like few things did before… but none know what that is.

Conclusion

This was a quick look at some of the lore behind the characters in the game. Let me remind you that BioSynth’s lore book will be available during the Kickstarter, so be sure to follow it.

Before interacting with a character could be a good idea to gather information first, so that you can start forming an idea about their way of thinking, their possible actions and their agenda. Or just don’t and simply force your way through becoming the next big fish.

But remember that there’s always a bigger fish… and gathering unwanted attention could lead to problems…
